Memento Audere Semper! (Remember to always be brave!) by Daniel Rodriguez, is a Military Science Fiction novel published in 2014. Set in an Alternate History where Rome, at the cusp of the dictators and emperors, reverted back to the Republic. Set around 1,200 years after the last Dictator was killed by the Senate, Rome finds itself a superpower, vying for control of the planet against the only other superpower, a collection of (mostly) Pacific-Ocean ringing states. The Roman Republic and the Alliance of Nations are locked in a cold war that has entrenched into every aspect of society, and has gotten slightly warmer - if not outright hot - due to perceived Alliance instigation of various Roman Republic allied and vassal states in Africa, an instigation that leads to war, a war wherein millions of deaths and a piece-meal Roman response only prolongs the suffering.The story begins orbiting Zoticus, a young Roman soldier, as the instigation dies down, and the 2000th birthday of Rome approaches. However, even with the easing of affairs and rise of peace, Zoticus finds himself struck personally by the war, and fear of something much more sinister, causes him to investigate to help the world in some tangible way. However, no good deed goes unpunished....Can be found on Amazon Kindle here.

Multinational Team: The Roman Republic's military, if not the state itself, is this, stretching from the foot of the Rockies to the end of the Ganges. Zoticus is from what we know as Puerto Rico, his mother and father are German and Roman specifically, he is serving with a South-African based Legion at the start, and then as the war begins again, people from all over join the squad, from France to India.

comment
Darkest Africa: The first and second chapters take place here, however, it is "dark" not due to the lack of infrastructure or civilization or technology, but do to the war, plague, death, and lack of life. Before the war, as later told, the whole world was roughly modernized and equal in infrastructure.

Faceless Goons: The Roman Republic (and thus our heroes) and the Alliance of Nations have full face and head covering helmets (to protect against gas and chemical attacks), thus this trope is in effect for most of the book. And when they get to space, other than some light, easily overlooked markings, they can't see each other's face behind the space helmets.

But What About the Astronauts?: Before the war, there were many space stations and habitats, Humanity had colonized in part the Moon, Mars, parts of the Asteroid Belt, some Gas Giant moons, and Chariklo are, or in the case of Chariklo, will be inhabited. So what happens when the war on the world breaks out? The surface or orbiting installations don't make it, but some underground ones do.

Crapsaccharine World: Sure, no one is a serf anymore, sanitation and hygiene and infrastructure is good, but it is all for the oncoming military conflict. Everything is geared towards it, and while you can choose ones place in society without the state telling you, you will be graded accordingly and in the end pressed into service if need be to fight in the war everyone dreads to arrive, only hastening the arrival so doing!

Lensman Arms Race
 Remember To Always Be Brave / int_53ecf83f
comment
Lensman Arms Race: The Cold War between the Roman Republic and the Alliance of Nations took this turn, and presumably between Rome and the Asiatic Empires they fought a century ago. Horses and lots of them came, so they dug trenches, threw gas, and to fight back with mobility, light tanks and armored cars. This beats the first round but then the second round has both with tanks. Then leads to bombing from the air and anti-tank guns, leading to bigger bombs and a focus on the war at sea, allowing the third round to happen. Then to end that, the Nukes are made and dropped. It is due to this the world can put up a fight up against the Tenebrae at all, and just then barely, helped by the fact that the Tenebrae are not really a real military force.

Enemy Mime: In Cilva, the Romans are called in by the Alliance to help with an uprising, ironically enough since the Alliance spurred uprisings in the rest of the Roman Vassals around Cilva. Rome accepts. Later on during the Alien Invasion, Rome and the Alliance unite, though its more of "Rome annexes the Alliance", and then the Cult in the form of Corna unites with Rome.

We Have Reserves
 Remember To Always Be Brave / int_61c683d2
comment
We Have Reserves: Strongly averted throughout the book. While the Roman Republic and Alliance have billions of citizens and huge chunks of that number militarized and trained, to avoid outright war before the right moment, both parties move through instigation, stop-gap and piecemeal reinforcement of local and indig troops, and due to the plagues, troop numbers can be cut down by half in a week or so, thus tempting smaller, quick actions. The main Roman unit is a mere 10,000 men (though for their credit, they have a lot of them, just not together for the most part). And after the nukes fell, the amount of humans hover around the single digit millions, and any concentration of troops can easily be wiped off with nuclear weaponry, so surgical and quick strikes - plus a lot of luck - go into both sides.

Grey-and-Gray Morality: The conflict between Rome and the Alliance is this. They are both large, powerful democracies, nearly technologically equal, both with assets in Space, and high levels of development: by all rights, there should not be any conflict at all. However, the Alliance formed out of the ashes of nearly a half century of non stop warfare in the region, wars that Rome stroked in short-term result problem solving, causing the region more lives; the Romans are particularly keen on getting Zesan/Azania, and while nearly a half century more of peace followed the formation of the Alliance, Rome treats them like an enemy that will be fought one day. This keeps the Alliance paranoid, causing them to have knee jerk reactions to anything Rome does, which gives Rome more fuel to keep their thinking of the Alliance firm, causing a cycle to form and which led to war.

Summon Bigger Fish: What Rome did to Mongolia, China, AND Japan in the backstory. To combat Mongolia and alleviate pressure from their front, they roused up the Chinese. That worked, but then the Chinese went after Rome. To combat this, Rome hastily modernizes and aides Japan in their wars against China, causing Japan to be the numero-uno power of the region, which then attacks Rome, causing a nearly two decades long war against Japan than ends with nuclear bombings of the main isles and the 'peninsula' (Korea), and possibly what caused the Alliance to form, a Roman coalition against Japan, which went after Rome after Japan was defeated (but not immediately with force).

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Historically, Rome and how it dealt with the Asiatic powers. Story wise, Zoticus, Pomona, and Gauis uncover and disseminates information of a coverup of the plague, a plague which is affecting both the Roman Republic and Alliance - and the Alliance goes ballistic. To their credit, the Alliance reacted in a way no one expected, as the politicians put the plague on Rome and thus public opinion, drawing the world closer to World War III. Whoops.

Biological Weapons Solve Everything
 Remember To Always Be Brave / int_ad3962c1
comment
Biological Weapons Solve Everything: The Alliance went this way more than the Republic did. After the nukes fall, the Tenebrae coat the world in at least two more viruses, one causing violence and the other causing organized violence.

Storming the Castle
 Remember To Always Be Brave / int_b9f472b
comment
Storming the Castle: The assault on the Rebel compound in chapter one. The expected storming of the cult castle of Rich Port turns out to be a shocking lie. And at the end, the Romans do this to Ravana.

Synthetic Plague
 Remember To Always Be Brave / int_c8146c52
comment
Synthetic Plague: The Alliance is generally thought of as of doing this, and the disaster of Cilva came from released Alliance biological weapon stocks, and that disaster spread across the whole Continent, and not just one plague but many.

Tank Goodness: Whenever the infantry are around, they are either helping or being helped by tanks in all their glory. The infantry protect the tanks from enemy infantry, while the tanks deal with built in positions or enemy tanks/armored vehicles.

Amazon Brigade: Literally called "the Amazons", or "Amazonians", they show up in a few battles and a few ex-Amazons are transferred into The Squad : Adela, Emilia, and Ursula.

Action Girl: The Roman Republic has a full set of these, specializing in heavy weapons/melee affairs, and the unspecialized females fight with the unspecialized males in the armed forces, and nearly every female fights during the course of the book or is unflinching in the direct line of fire.

Elaborate Underground Base
 Remember To Always Be Brave / int_daef39ee
comment
Elaborate Underground Base: The base right next of Coco/Salinas is this, and where the heroes operate for a good chunk of the book. The base in the Amazon is somewhat similar. The Tenebrae and Cult have these as well. At the end, working with the assault on Ravana, the main Tenebrae base in the Khyber pass, Surpanakha, is attacked by surviving local Roman and allied forces to tie down as many Tenebrae resources as possible, who seemed to have had an adventure of their own in the region.

Mile-Long Ship: The Roman colonization ship Bea is the longest Roman ship ever made. The Tenebrae's ship, codenamed Ravana, is a kilometer long.

Flaunting Your Fleets: The Roman Navy held its head high for the 2000th birthday of Rome and was part of the military parade there, and a grandly described fleet was about to sail through Panama to supplement the Pacific Front. Keyword : was.

Istanbul (Not Constantinople)
 Remember To Always Be Brave / int_eb2eb10f
comment
Istanbul (Not Constantinople): In spades. Roman names ride alongside local names. Most glaringly, the Caribbean is the New Mediterranean, The Bahamas are the New Aegean, the Greater Antilles are the New Tyrrhenians, the Lesser Antilles are the New Ionians.

Oh, My Gods!: Due to the Romanic, not Judeo-Christian, influence on the prevalent culture. Adela comes to mind, though she did not refer to them by name but by concept ('God of Oaths') and Corna, who leans towards the Indian pantheon.

Alien Invasion
 Remember To Always Be Brave / int_f56aeb67
comment
Alien Invasion: This is mulled upon by Pomona due to the various weird factors, and Zoticus goes back and forth in believing in it or believing in a more terrestrial excuse. They show up a month after the Nuclear war, and most ills of the story can be pointed to, but not really traced, to them. The Romans codename them “The Tenebrae”, meaning, roughly, the Night-Shadows.

comment
Great Offscreen War: The wars at the turn of the last century in the 1900s AUC - The first with Rome against Mongolia, the second against Rome and China, the third and final being Rome against Japan. Decius is a veteran from the last one, and the wars lead to the formation of the Alliance of Nations as a forum and supranational union in the region to prevent another war, only for them to become polarized against Rome, beginning a cold war.
